Taxation without representation
Outline of the presentation 2009-12-10
Topic: Taxation without Representation.
1. Boston Tea Party
2. Lumber Embargo
3. Justification

a) Vengeful Taxation
b) Revolt Against power
c) American Revolution (outcome)

A. Unfair Practice in Trade
B. Tax’s Against Agreement
C. Courts & Justice system

i. The unfair part in both of these parties are that the people who have the power will use it to their advantage, by enforcement from the law enforcement (police, Courts, etc. ) Sometimes even by bullying the issue until it’s in their favour for their own benefit.
ii. The rise to the problem at hand with both a similar but still quite different, one was for trying to get relieve from king in power at the time to create a new leadership who will do what the people want, and the other was for disobeying an agreement that was done between the U.S. & Canada.
iii. The outcome between the two of the issues was one became what they wanted and the other got more taxing added onto their original taxation for their lumber mills in Canada.

Side Note:
The difference between the Boston tea party and the lumber embargo is that the Boston tea party was a revolt against the king in power and is what let to the American Revolution.

And the lumber embargo was a fault between the U.S. and the Canadian governments and how the Canadian Government was taxing the lumber mills too cheaply and going against the trade agreement set up with the U.S government. The U.S. felt that the Canadian government were subsidizing the stumps.

Conclusion:
The U.S. when to court with the Canada and won and now have taxed the lumber mills for using the stumps as a way to undermine the tax they agreed upon.

With the Boston tea party the revolt won against the King in power and created the revolution which intern help build the United States.

Difference: In the old days, during the Boston tea party. The only thing that they don’t have in common is they didn’t have a justice system like we do today. Where court dates are involved, lawyers fee’s, lots of paper work but in the end most of the time the good guys win.

Dates: December 16, 1773, Boston tea party
September 12, 2006, Lumber trade agreement

Cathie Check this out... Pretty much is epic!

Fixed Nationalism Project
Topic: What are some of the concepts involving nation and identity in relation to nationalism?




Question 1: To be patriotic is it necessary to be supportive of everything your nation does?

Canada offers its citizens many freedoms such as religion, cultural and education. I enjoy these freedoms every day. I am extremely patriotic for Canada in these instances. If these were threatened, depending on the circumstances I may even fight for my country to keep these freedoms. Would I die for my country? I am not sure. Even though I truly love my country and all its freedoms, I still would have to think long and hard to decide if I would die for my country.

Melissa, you honed down your paragraph and have written it well. Your question would now be "Am I patriotic?" To address the question above- do you believe you have to agree with everything the government does to be patriotic?

And I used my textbook as well.



Question 2: Do you think of Canada as merely a country –the place where you live and where everyone shares the same federal government? Or do you view Canada as your nation? Is the idea of Canada and being Canadian part of your identity?


Canada isn’t merely a country to me, but my home. It is my birthplace, and the birthplace of my grandparents. My great grandparents immigrated to Canada from Europe and Sweden to make Canada their home. We have a family history with our cultures being blended when we merged into Canada. At times, I feel that Canada is very multi-cultural but the Canadians who live in Québec feel that they are a distinct society and want to leave Canada. I think they feel they do not fit in to the multi-cultural society in Canada, which makes me feel very sad. Since each province has their own provincial government which speaks on behalf of the people of the province, I do feel I have a voice with the federal government which makes me feel at home in my country.

10/10
Melissa it works very well to tackle only one question. Then your sentences can all back up your thesis statement at the beginning. This is far better. Good for you!
Cathie I am answering one question rather than the three is this okay?

Question 3: What does “nation” mean to you?

Nation to me means, everyone is bound by the same federal government, living in the same country and united when a crisis comes along, such as war, poverty,
or natural disasters (e.g. earthquake). We are fortunate to live in a nation where our country has federal elections to elect a leader who is voted in by the majority of the people who live in this country. Some countries are not even allowed to vote or have any say who their political leaders will be or who will run their country. Living in Canada, you do have the ability to disagree with political leaders, but they have been elected by the people within the country. The political leaders or government do have the final say when it comes to decision making over the nation they run. Our nation has a governing system consisting of an opposition party to help keep the elected officials in check in speaking for the minority of Canada. Nationalism in Canada is keeping our culture and provinces happy to be a part of this nation; Quebec wants to become their own distinct country or nation within Canada. Stephen Harper and the Canadian people are trying to stop this from happening because we want to have a united nation within Canada, keeping our people together. Therefore, by keeping Canada together as one nation, bound by the same federal government, we can unite to make a stronger country during a crisis.

Melissa, again you have concetrated on one topic. Well done.

Nationalism Project

A patriot is a person who strongly believes it’s necessary to possibly dying for his country against any type of opponent and articulating loyalty for his country.
Most people say they wouldn’t die for their country, with the definition of a patriot they wouldn’t fit it and therefore (unnecessary) wouldn’t be considered patriotic. Other citizens would say they would die for the nation and (still) others respond with, "It depends on the situation at hand". Veterans of wars in the past had to die for their country or fight through tuff (sp) situations for their survival intended for the cause of (to survive while) defending our nation against invaders. They made the choice to follow their nation’s dissention and support them in the choices their leader would make. To be classified as patriotic it is necessary to supportive everything our nation does, with that said, if what our nation is doing isn’t the right thing, then I don’t for see you having to be patriotic. If being a patriot is something you want to be, then you’ll have to become what your nations leaders want, not what your opinion says. Today we have a choices to be become when ever our hearts desire, but because of media, people and education, we now have our own opinions with what our dreams will be.

Melissa, I think that you have taken one view of patriotism (and I can tell you don't agree with it to write this- Many people say patriotism is not dependent on agreeing with everything your leaders do... maybe you could say that is the type of patriotism you believe in - because I can tell by what you say that you are patriotic but you do not agree with everything that happens in your country.

And I used my textbook as well.



Canada isn’t merely a country to me, but my home.(Excellent) It is my birthplace, and the birthplace of my parents and their parents. My great grandparents immigrated to Canada from Europe and Sweden and made (to make) Canada their home. We have a history from our families,(:) cultures that have been meshed together to create new cultures for our families when all blended together. At times, I feel that Canada is not a multi-cultural country because of Quebec’s view of separating from Canada. (In this case people may not want Canada to be multicultural, but it very much is- you can say it makes you sad or some people don't want ...) I also feel because each province has their(its) own provincial government, I feel Canadian’s feel they share with the Federal Government because of that.(this sentence is hard to understand- if you could reword it. Call me if you need to) As the Olympics are being held in Canada, it is extremely easy to feel Canada is my nation. Being a Canadian as part of my identity is very important to me. Canadians are well thought of throughout the world and highly regarded...so yes being a Canadian is an important part of my identity.(repetition) You (We) have a well balanced government system and, just like anywhere else, people who choice(sp)not to follow the rules and tend you wide (wind) up in jails because they don’t abide by the rules the federal government has set for us.(them). So I do agree with these questions because if you do not obey the rules your life is over. Melissa, your last sentence needs to pull it all together. Look at your first sentence and you will see what it is that is the crucial thought for you - Canada is my home- and that is what you need to pull back into your last sentence.

Melissa, I really do think that you are passionate about this subject, so I think that this is great choice for you! There are just some grammatical errors that I think would hear if you would read the sentences out loud.

nations are run by the majority of the people who live in the country because political leaders are voted in by elections and these political leaders then in turn run the country. (be sure to remember that in some countries people have NO say in what happens)
Living in Canada, you do have the ability to disagree with political leaders, but they have been elected by the people within the country. The political leaders or government do have the final say when it comes to decision making over the nation they run. Our nation has a governing system consisting of an opposition party to help keep the elected officials in check in speaking for the minority of Canada. Nationalism in Canada is keeping our culture and provinces happy to be a part of this nation; Quebec wants to become their own distinct country or group within Canada. Stephen Harper and the Canadian people are trying to permit that to happen because we want to have a united kingdom within Canada keeping our people together for the better. (be sure you do not interchange nation and country in this instance- Stephen Haper does not support Quebec becoming its own country...but nation within our country...) If Canada does not continue to be a united nation at heart would only lead our nation to one that does not want to help each other out when a crisis comes along, plus would cause huge disagreements in the House of Commons. This would make our huge unrest in our own nation.
